About Us

Sepia Restaurant opened in May 2009 and is located at the prestigious Darling Park precinct at 201 Sussex Street, Sydney.

Sepia is the creative collaboration between two of Sydney's highly regarded food identities - the renowned seafood wholesaler George Costi of De Costi Seafoods and award winning Sydney Chef Martin Benn.

The contemporary Australian menu at Sepia is unique utilising the best of local produce and drawing inspiration from Japan. We offer a la carte and degustation menus mid week and on Saturday evening we offer a completely different degustation menu that evolves each week.

Sydney Morning Herald restaurant critic Terry Durack describes the cuisine as: "smoky, sweet, crunchy, creamy, soft, gentle, toasty, scented, clear, brothy, earthy, floral. The focus is on texture and contrast even more than taste - there's always a crunch, always a cream. It's like the love-child of Tetsuya Wakuda and Rene Redzepi of Noma; a Nordic kaiseki.

Sepia's extensive wine list compiled by award winning Sommelier Rodney Setter offer more than twenty four wines by the glass and an eclectic selection of wines from around the globe.
